    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

lengthening forks?

so I was wondering if there is a reversible way to lengthen our forks? these being some of the tallest bikes I've noticed, there probably aren't just some type that are longer and bolt right in, but I've also heard of things like "6 inch over forks" are those just longer or is there a way to add a piece to our existing forks?

just curious...?
 
Hi-Not sure if anyone makes over length tubes for your bike- your best bet would be a custom bike shop as they deal with this sort of thing on a regular basis. Remember that adding length changes the way your bike handles. I have never gone more than 4 over(three different Harley's) and have never gone this route with any Jap bike.Out of curiousity what makes you want to do this?
 
I have seen a kit listed on ebay that replaces your existing triple clamp and
gives you a rake on the front end without modifying the frame. But, it isn't cheap. It is reversable in that all you would have to do is change out the front end back to the original.
 
purely aesthetics, I like the more chopper look, and sometimes when I come out and see my bike, it looks almost like it got in a collision (it didn't, but being that my mind likes the stretched out look...)

I do love the way the bike handles, and don't really plan to put tons of $$ into it for aesthetics, but just wondering out loud really, my alter ego knows less than I do about bikes! :wink:

I'll keep an eye out for an ebay find!

thanks!
 
Forks by Frank sells almost any length tube you could want. The only factor is fork diameter. If it is too small, they will only extend them what they consider safe.

You can find the address and telephone number in a google search, use:

"Forks by Frank"
